He Tu Country has a blind princess, famous far and near.

This princess was intelligent and studious from a young age, taking wise sages as her teachers, fond of the techniques from Huaguo Mountain, and she convinced the King to open trade between He Tu Country and Huaguo Mountain.

Over the decade, thanks to the technologies from Huaguo Mountain, the national strength of He Tu Country greatly increased.

Although the princess was blind, she understood Huaguo Mountain more than the average person. She imitated Huaguo Mountain and carried out a series of reforms in He Tu Country, leading everything to be orderly under her guidance.

Throughout He Tu Country, everyone regarded her as a treasure.

A year ago, breaking the convention, the King found the princess, wishing to appoint her as the Crown Princess.

"I am thankful to Father King for not despising me and nurturing me all the way as I grew up."

The princess said, "But having been blind since childhood, I fear being deceived by wicked people, and absolutely cannot undertake such a heavy responsibility."

She declined the position of Crown Princess, which left the civil and military officials quite astonished.

The old King couldn't help but sigh.

"What a pity."

His other children combined did not match the talents of his daughter.

But lacking eyesight, indeed, made it difficult to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

It was truly an extreme pity.

The old King once thought to give up the idea and choose another Crown Prince from among the other princes and princesses.

Yet, when he heard that Sun Wukong was leaving Huaguo Mountain and heading to He Tu Country, hope sparked in his heart again.

"The Heavenly Emperor will pass by here in two days, I will go and seek medical help for you."

The King found the princess and said, "Our entire nation believes in him, he must agree."

"But I have heard that as the Heavenly Emperor traveled along, many people knelt and begged him, yet he never stopped."

The princess said.

She might not see things, but she could grasp information from everywhere.

The King shook his head: "The Heavenly Emperor was once praised as the Wise Monkey and healed the princess of West Liang Woman Country; as long as we are sincere, he will certainly help you."

Like the princess, the King was also a devout follower of Sun Wukong.

He informed the princess, then turned around to prepare.

After the King left, the princess asked a palace maid, "The Heavenly Emperor is inspecting; has anyone seen what he actually looks like?"

"Some have seen him, but no one can describe him."

The palace maid answered, "It is said that the Heavenly Emperor is an Immortal among Immortals; people just need to see him once, and they will unconsciously kneel."

The princess sighed, "Then there is nothing."

The palace maid laughed, "If the princess really wants to know, why not touch his statue? Once you touch it, you will naturally understand."

"That is blasphemy."

The princess said, "The eyes of an Immortal can see the whole world; how can I commit such an act?"

The palace maid shook her head and said nothing more.

Two more days passed, and sure enough, Sun Wukong arrived.

The Royal Palace of He Tu Country was bustling, palace maids and guards all ran outside.

"Quick, look, the sky is full of rainbows!"

"The Heavenly Emperor has really come!"

Hearing the sounds coming from outside, the princess hurriedly put on her outer garments, assisted by a palace maid, and went outside to kneel.

She could not see the scene above, only hearing people around praising and exclaiming.

From the crowd's exclamations, the princess gathered that the Immortal horses pulling the Heavenly Emperor's chariot transformed into a White Dragon, soaring into the sky.

"What kind of scene is this indeed."

The princess felt both envy and longing.

She too wished to meet the Heavenly Emperor, to see that ascended White Dragon.

This longing turned into more sensitive perceptions.

Even though she saw nothing, the princess seemed to hear the world sing with the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor.

The entire sky was enveloped by a warm breath.

This breath was so pure, like sunlight, able to embrace everything in the world.

The surrounding flowers and grasses all stretched their best, eagerly absorbing that wonderful breath.

The princess did the same, unconsciously trembling all over, feeling that breath.

When she came to her senses, she had already returned to the Royal Palace, and the old King had driven away all the civil and military officials.

"Why is Father angry?"

The Princess asked.

"The Heavenly Emperor has a heart of iron and stone and did not heed my request. What is the use of believing in him?"

The King was somewhat disappointed.

"I think the Heavenly Emperor does not need our belief."

The Princess smiled and said, "He established the Wanling Heavenly Dao, and lately, its teachings have spread. This Heavenly Dao does not demand that people worship the Heavenly Emperor but instead encourages self-reliance. My eye condition is the same."

She had a vague feeling that she might be able to cure her own eye condition.

Hearing her reassurance, the King could only sigh and say no more.

Days passed, and the Princess locked herself in her room, quietly sensing the changes; indeed, the world had changed.

After the Heavenly Emperor had passed through, the air in the River Map Country had altered.

Numerous particles wandered in the air, which the Princess could feel and absorb like plants and then release them.

One night, the Princess suddenly fell into a deep sleep.

When she awoke again, the particles around her seemed to have transformed into eyes, and everything around her was revealed to her heart.

"My daughter, you have finally woken up."

The Princess saw the old King holding her hand, sitting by the bed with a worried face.

"Father, I... I can see now..."

The Princess' body trembled slightly.

"I can see, Father! I can see you."

She touched the King's hand, "Father, you cried."

"What, what? Impossible!"

The King shuddered, wiped the tears from his face and turned to shout, "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician quickly!"

Several Imperial Physicians were summoned.

They examined the Princess's eyes, and although her vision had not recovered, eerily, she could indeed see the surroundings.

No matter how the King changed the furnishings in the room, the Princess could always accurately describe them.

"What... what is this?"

The excited King asked the Princess, "Did the Heavenly Emperor cure you?"

"No..."

The Princess shook her head, "Something the Heavenly Emperor left behind as he passed by, if we understand it, we might be able to cast spells like the Taoists."

The King was startled, "What is it?"

"Probably..."

The Princess thought for a moment, "It must be the Spirits Immortal Energy."

"Then, can we also use it to cast spells?"

The King asked again.

"Yes."

The Princess nodded.

The King and the Imperial Physicians exchanged looks, both finding it incredible.

How could this be.

The Princess had no Spirit Root since she was young, making it impossible for her to become a Taoist.

For her, a commoner who had not undergone any cultivation, to cast spells like a Taoist was unthinkable!

"Princess, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

An Imperial Physician asked, "Can you perform any other spells?"

"Let me try."

The Princess stretched out her hand and silently recited some spells, only to see a small flame flickering in the palm of her hand.

This fire seed was reflected in all the incredulous eyes around.

And soon, similar fire seeds began to appear in many places on the Northern Continent.

Those were sparks of stars, the news that mortals could also cast spells spread rapidly.

Extraordinary power was a temptation that all the Human Clan could not resist.
